M.R.I of Brain for Vision & Dizziness

10.25.2008 - M.R.I of Brain for Vision & Dizziness

On Tuesday, September 25, 2008, I went in in per my doctor to have an M.R.I. to determine if I had a blockage of the blood vessels leading to the back of my brain. 

This blood flow delivers oxygen to the part of the brain that controls balance and vision. 

I was surprised that it took around 45 minutes.  The staff said sometimes they do two scans on different days but since I had been so steady in the machine, they did the entire test in one shot, so to speak.

So I did get the results on Saturday, the 27th when I went in for more tests and then unexpectedly, a spinal tap! 

They didn't think there was a twining of the blood vessels or a bi-section of a blood vessel.  So we shall see what the results of the spinal tap show!
